Senior Trading Manager

In first grade, Susan bet her coffee-loving babysitter a dollar that she would never try such a stinky drink. One barista gig, four caffeinated college years, and one coffee-roasting husband later, Susan is out a dollar but thrilled to have discovered that her tastes have improved since the age of six.

After graduating with a B.A. in Comparative Religion and Comparative History of Ideas from the University of Washington in 2005, Susan moved to France for a year, traveled, moved back to the Pacific Northwest to try her hand at teaching, and then jumped back across the pond to Switzerland to round out her obsession of comparing things by studying Comparative Literature at the University of Geneva.

Susan is excited that Atlas is a place that allows – nay, encourages! – her to drink (and compare) coffee to her caffeine-addicted heart’s content. She is also one of our ace data crunchers on the trading and futures team.

When not at Atlas, Susan can generally be found reading, rock climbing, crafting, cycling, running (in the rain, after her two kids, or occasionally both), or trying to get above the rain clouds and into the mountains.
